This was with GPT-4o (ancient now by AI standards). The reason OpenAI refuses to bring it back, despite all the demand, is that when the conversation gets long enough it starts doing weird things like this.

I hate when people say "AI" without specifying which model. It's like saying "plane" without specifying if you're talking about a Cessna or an F-22 Raptor.
